Excerpts
From The Prince
"Anyone who determines to
act in all circumstances the part of a good man must come to
ruin among so many who are not good. Hence, if a prince wishes
to maintain himself, he must learn how not to be good, and to
use tht ability or not as is required."
"The experience of our times
shows that the princes who have done great things are the ones
who have taken little account of their promises and who have
known how to addle the brains of men with their craft."
"If men were all good, this
advice would not be good, but since men are wicked and do not
keep their promises to you, you likewise do not have to keep
your promises to them."
"So far as he is able, a
prince should stick to the path of good but, if the necessity
arises, he should know how to follow
evil."
